His Doctors Have Not Cleared Him to Leave
Behind the discussion surrounding the photograph was a serious update about McConnell’s condition. He said he remained committed to the demanding rehabilitation program prescribed by his doctors. “I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders,” McConnell stated.
His office also released information from the Office of the Attending Physician, which confirmed that he was continuing to recover from the fall he suffered at home in June. He was still receiving rehabilitation care and could not yet return to his office.
“Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls,” the medical statement explained.
